Friday Fill-up

Peonies are in season.

I've restarted the sleeves I blogged about before for the baby sweater, finished one and started the second. Aiming for weekend completion.

Past the heel on the second Sockapalooza sock. I work on that project when I'm commuting, but that's only about 40 minutes a day, all told. Slowly but surely.

Some new yarn:

brown organic yarn

This is maybe a DK weight wool in natural brown. It's from Full Belly Farm in Guinda, north of Napa. I picked this up at the Ferry Building in San Francisco, just a little way from where I work. It's a great little lunchtime getaway for me. The Capay Organic Fruits and Vegetables booth sells this yarn in a variety of natural colors and weights, as well as a whole lot of lavender products.

I want to make a warm hat or something out of this. It's fairly rustic, with plenty of non-wool "fiber" in it, if you know what I mean. Noro yarns have nothing on this. But it's actually pretty soft, nonetheless.
